APPLYING PRINCIPLES OF PLANT SCIENCE

HOW ARE PLANTS AND ANIMALS DIFFERENT ? Plants take in nutrients and make their own food : Animals depend on plants for food. Plants are not mobile,anchored in soil : Animals are mobile. Plants have rigid cell walls : Animals have cell membranes (no cell walls) Plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen : Animals take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide.

HOW ARE PLANTS AND ANIMALS ALIKE ? Both have life cycles. Both carry on life processes: circulation, respiration and growth. Both are made of cells. Both plants and animals must have food.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT PLANT GROWTH TEMPERATURE - Some plants are cool season crops and others are warm season crops. PRECIPITATION - Plants vary in the amount of water they need. LIGHT - Plants vary in the amount of light they need: referred to as a plants photoperiod.

TYPES OF GROWING SEASONS COOL SEASON - Life cycle begins in the fall and ends when summer begins : examples include wheat, rye, oats and some varieties of vegetables. WARM SEASON - Life cycles begins after last frost until the first frost in the fall : Examples include bananas, papaya, oranges, tomatoes, cotton, corn and soybean.

CLASSIFICATION OF PLANTS ACCORDING TO THEIR LIFE CYCLE ANNUALS - Plants that complete their life cycle in one year. BIENNIALS - Plants that complete their life in two seasons. PERENNIALS - Plants that live more than two growing seasons.

VEGETATIVE PARTS OF PLANTS LEAVES - Make food for the plant through a process known as photosynthesis. STEMS - Transport water and other material between the leaves and roots; supports the leaves, fruit and other structures. ROOTS - Anchors the plant; takes in water and minerals and stores food.

TWO MAJOR KINDS OF LEAVES SIMPLE - Has only one blade; examples are corn, oak tree, sugar maple, elm tree and wheat. COMPOUND - Divided into two or more leaflets; examples are clover, roses and locust trees.

THREE PATTERNS OF LEAF ARRANGEMENT ALTERNATE - Only one leaf is located at each node on a stem. OPPOSITE - Leaves are attached at a node opposite each other. WHORLED - Three or more leaves are attached at each node.

FUNCTIONS OF THE STEM Stems support the leaves and hold them so that they can get sunlight. Stems support flowers, fruit and other structures. Stems transport water and other material. Stems grow. Stems store food (potato).

KINDS OF STEMS AERIAL STEMS - Grow above the ground. SUBTERRANEAN STEMS - Grow below the ground.

SUBTERRANEAN STEMS TUBERS - Potatoes BULBS - Onions and tulips CORMS - Gladiolus and garlic RHIZOMES - Johnson grass

STEMS CLASSIFIED BY AMOUNT OF WOODY MATERIAL IN THE STEM SINGLE WOODY TRUNKS - Trees WOODY STEMS - Shrubs and many crop plants HERBACEOUS STEMS - Many flowering, vegetable and crop plants.

KINDS OF ROOT SYSTEMS TAPROOT - Has one main root that grows downward; pine trees, carrots and beets are examples. FIBROUS ROOT SYSTEMS - Has many small roots and spread out through the soil; wheat, corn, soybeans and tomatoes are examples.

COMMON KINDS OF TROPISM PHOTOTROPISM - Plants growing or turning in the direction of light. GEOTROPISM - Plants respond to gravity; involves the roots growing downward. THIGMOTROPISM - Plants respond to solid objects; plants will grow around or over objects such as rocks and sidewalks; or a tree growing around a fence wire.
